Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 13: Seduction and Deception
One night as Tobias stepped into the chamber, he found Scarlett stood defiantly in front of him. Tobias crossed the room, standing in front of her. He couldn't help but admire her courage and determination. "Good evening, Scarlett," he said in a smooth voice, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I hope you're finding your accommodations to your liking?" Her eyes narrowed as she faced him. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice cold and unyielding. "I've come to question you," Tobias replied, taking a step closer to her. "You see, I still have no idea why you were sneaking around my palace. I want to know why you came here," he said, his voice soft and dangerous. Scarlett remained silent, eyeing him warily. She met his gaze and didn't waver, her heart raced with fear and anger. She knew that she had to get out of there, no matter what it took. Tobias smirked. "But maybe we can find some... common ground. Perhaps there's something I can offer you in exchange for the truth?" She bri
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 14: Playing with Fire
Scarlett felt her heart skipped a beat as his warm lips brushed against her ear. She knew she should pull away and maintain her distance, but the seductive tone in his voice was making it difficult for her to think straight."Is that a threat, my king?" she asked, trying to sound casual despite the trembling in her voice.Tobias chuckled softly, the sound sending a warm sensation through her body. "Not a threat, my dear," he replied, his lips still dangerously close to her ear. "Just a warning. You're playing a dangerous game here. One that could cost your life."Scarlett tried to remain composed, but her mind was racing. She knew that Tobias was right, that she was playing a dangerous game. But the desire for revenge burned inside her, driving her to take the risk."I'll take my chances," she said, her voice low and determined. "I'll do whatever it takes to get what I want."Tobias pulled away for a moment, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers. "And what is it that you want?" He
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 15: Escape Plan
Scarlett took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing thoughts. She knew that she needed to come up with a plan to escape the palace, but it was proving to be difficult with the high level of security guards and the confinement of the palace.She got up from the bed and started pacing the room, thinking of all the possible escape routes. Her mind raced as she tried to think of a way out. The palace was surrounded by thick stone walls, and the only entrance was heavily guarded. She knew that any attempt to escape would be met with resistance, and she would need to be smart about it.She paced back and forth in her room, trying to come up with a plan. She considered disguising herself as a servant or a guard, but she knew it would be risky. The guards knew each other well, and any unfamiliar face would be suspicious.She thought about climbing the walls or digging a tunnel, but the walls were too high, and the ground was too hard to dig through. She felt frustrated and trapped, but s
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 16: Desperate Measures
Scarlett heard the sound of footsteps approaching the storage room and she knew that time was running out. Her mind raced with possibilities as she scanned the room for any possible hiding spots or escape routes, but her options were limited.There was only one door and the windows were too small to squeeze through. She could hear the guards calling out her name and demanding that she open the door.Just as she thought she had run out of options, she noticed a loose floorboard near the shelves. With a surge of hope, she lifted the board and crawled inside the small space beneath the floor. She huddled in the cramped space, listening as the guards entered the room. The suspense was almost unbearable as she waited, unsure if she had escaped unnoticed or if her hiding spot had been discovered.Her heart raced as she crawled into the cramped space under the loose floorboard. She held her breath as the door creaked open and the guards entered the room.As she waited, the tension was almos
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 17: Escape Route
Scarlett continued to crawl, her eyes darting back and forth as she searched for any opening or escape route. Suddenly, she spotted a small gap between the rooftop of a building and the palace walls surrounding the palace, barely wide enough for her to cross over it. It was a risk, but it could be her only chance.After a few more moments of scanning the area, she finally spotted a tree that was close enough to the palace walls to allow her to jump down safely. With renewed determination, she carefully made her way towards the gap. It wasn't an ideal escape route, but it was better than nothing.Her heart was pounding with anticipation as she realized that it was even smaller than she had initially thought. But she was determined to make it work.She carefully positioned herself on the edge of the roof and took a deep breath. "Okay, here goes nothing," she muttered to herself. “Time to make a move.”With all the strength and agility she could muster, she made a leap of faith and manag
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 18: Getaway in the City
Scarlett was exhausted, with blisters on her feet and feeling hungry. All she desired at the moment was to take a hot bath and have a warm drink, followed by a comfortable bed to rest her weary body. She shut her eyes, focusing on the peaceful murmur of hushed chatter from the cafe patrons around her. The small cafe was situated beside a clear loch, surrounded by towering mountains on three sides. The friendly locals respected her need for solitude and did not interrupt her deep in thought. When she was sinking into a well-worn wooden chair, nobody questioned her actions. After days of climbing the nearby peaks in the rain and wind, Scarlett was thrilled to finally be warm and dry. Despite wanting to cut the trip short, she couldn't resist her enthusiasm. As she sat in the cozy cafe, surrounded by the low murmur of voices, Scarlett felt the warmth seeping into her bones, and thought that the city was truly heaven. One of the voices caught her attention, and she turned to see two me
Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 19: The Hunt Continues
One of the King's guardian, Joel Serge, entered the Great Hall where King Tobias was waiting for him. The King narrowed his gaze and spoke impatiently, "What do you have to report? Have you found her yet?" He bowed his head respectfully before answering, "Nay, My King, we failed to locate her in the surrounding areas." Tobias slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, his impatience turning into anger. "We need to find her and bring her back to me, no matter what it takes," he growled, his eyes blazing with determination. "I won't rest until I have her in my custody again." Trying to hide the fear in his eyes, Joel hung his head and said, "We've searched everywhere, My King," he said. "But she seems to have vanished into thin air." The King stood up from his throne and strode towards him. "I don't care if you have to turn the city upside down, you will find her," he hissed. "And if you fail me again, you'll face the consequences." "Yes, My King," he replied, his voice barely a

Frustration ate her away, as she took pride in her skill at reading people. But with the man in front of her, it felt like trying to decipher an empty page, one that held no hidden meaning or clues. "Are you in the lycan king's service?" she asked directly. Tobias tilted his head, giving her a puzzled look. "In the lycan king's service?" "Do you carry out his orders? Are you one of his accomplices?" she clarified. Tobias's face grew darker, his expression tightening. Scarlett noticed the friendly warmth in his eyes turning into fiery anger that caught her by surprise. She couldn't tell if he was mad at her or not. She instinctively tightened her grip on her dagger, ready for whatever might happen. "Nope, I'm not his accomplice," he said with disdain. "To be honest, I don't even see him as the rightful leader, if you want to know the truth." Scarlett blinked, taken aback by his candid response. "You're telling me you don't? Well, that's quite unexpected. Why do you say that?" He

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 31: Suspicion and Unspoken Antipathy
Tobias felt uneasy when he looked at how the woman was behaving. There was something about her that made him suspicious and gave him a moment of doubt.Even though her questions seemed harmless, they had a tone that made it feel more like an interrogation than a casual chat. He wasn't sure what it was, but something about the way she looked at him made him think she didn't like him.Because he wasn't sure what she wanted, he was careful about what he said and didn't want to say too much about himself. Tobias couldn't get rid of the feeling that there was more to this interaction than what he could see, so he couldn't help but wonder what it was all about."Well, I'm on my way to the north now. Just arrived from the neighboring town," he said, deciding to disclose his true identity.Tobias felt a slight twinge of vulnerability as he shared this information, allowing a glimpse into his true identity.

The tasks at hand were of utmost significance, requiring his unwavering dedication and skill. He made a conscious choice not to bring his henchmen with him on this particular mission. He knew that privacy and secrecy were important, so he decided to look like a simple, unremarkable commoner to fit in with the crowd. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, so he dressed modestly and kept a low image. This was a smart move as it let him move around unnoticed among the crowds and watch and listen without giving away his true identity. He knew that this level of anonymity would give him the freedom to deal with the difficulties he would face in the future and do his jobs well. The previous night had been a restless one for Tobias, as he found himself

Tempting the Lycan King Chapter 28: Precarious Situation
The innkeeper, Finley, glanced over at Scarlett with a stern expression, his bushy eyebrows furrowing. He walked over, his voice filled with authority. "Scarlett, mind your tongue. We can't have you scaring off our paying customers. Keep your emotions in check.""Doesn't it bother you that filthy men like Grayson believe they can touch us the servant without permission simply because they're purchasing a drink or two?""You know they mean no harm, dear," he countered. "And you know it's all in good fun. They would never go too far. And if they dared to, you know I would intervene.""Finley-""This inn is my business, girl. And I have the right to run it as I see fit," Finley replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "You knew the terms when you agreed to work here and reside in the cottage out back."Her gaze hardened, observing that he purposefully mentioned her living arrangement to remind her of her vulnerable position."Your fiery temper is sure to drive away my customers.
